Franco-Uruguayan double bassist and composer Vladimir Torres presents his fourth album, Rush, a work of free, modern jazz inspired by the tensions of our times and the intimate impulses that drive us.
Through nine original compositions, the artist delivers a work of great harmonic and emotional richness. "Rush" is that tipping point between inner urgency and the search for breath. A moment suspended between tension and calm.
Surrounding Vladimir Torres is his trio, with its distinctive musical identity and telepathic teamwork, made up of Martin Schiffmann on piano and Tom Moretti on drums. Guest stars include Damien Groleau on piano, Hugo Diaz on soprano saxophone and Constantin Meyer on trombone.
Driven by powerful double bass lines and a precise rhythmic pattern, 'Rush' explores a wide range of territory, from introspective lyricism to political outcry and meditative improvisations. Vladimir Torres has created a project that is as committed musically as it is thematically, evoking war, memory, peace, filiation and resilience.
The album draws on a palette of influences ranging from European jazz to Eastern sounds, urban grooves and Latin textures. Surrounded by a group of expressive musicians, Vladimir Torres offers a free instrumental dialogue that is often cinematic, but always sincere.
